The other day, I was throwing together a hash-brown potato casserole at the last minute for a potluck family reunion when I realized the recipe called for a can of Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup, an item I’d forgotten to pick up on my run to the grocery store. But not to worry, I thought.

In 2006, we were told by doctors in another hospital that our mother would die in the next few days.

The reason I am sharing these thoughts with you is I was approached by someone who wanted more information on the home dialysis and I feel there are more people out there who one day may need to think about going this way instead of going to a clinic and going through a more aggressive treatment.

Instead of doing it daily, you do it every two to three days and it is more aggressive.

1 John 5:2 says, “This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.”

Notice the word of God tells us to first of all love God and also carry out his commands. During the summer months of 2010, the Baptist churches in Owen County surely showed their love for God and his children; and by doing this they also followed his commands. Almost 100 percent of the Baptist churches collected school supplies for the Owen County Schools.
